Hey... Has anyone ever NOT opened up a letter they got in the mail? You know the kind I mean...

And, hey, Yuna. Guy. Someone around my age. Take me out to the roller rink? I wanna be a stupid teenager for a while.


[Action - 1125 Taylor]

[Marisa is sitting on her front stoop. She has a bottle of Coke open next to her and she's twirling an envelope between her fingers. There's a school textbook open in her lap, but she's not exactly paying attention to it as she stares off into space. Be neighborly! Step on up and say hi!]

Comments

[cullscuttlefish]

Nope! But I've been by the rink and it looks fun.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Same here, ze. [She laughs a little at herself.]

[cullscuttlefish]

Whale, why not? Ice cream after?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun, but if I end up up impaled on your horns, you're totally buying the ice cream.

[cullscuttlefish]

You won't get impaled on them. The points aren't even sharp! But I'll buy the ice cream anyway.

[She needs the distraction. Badly.]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Hey... You gonna get all weird if I touch 'em? Cause I kinda wanna...

[cullscuttlefish]

Why would I get all weird? Ah, just...not around the base. They're kind of sensitive around there. It's where they're still growing, so it kinda hurts.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Rabbit youkai get all weird when you touch their ears, so I figure I'd check.

[cullscuttlefish]

No worries, Marisa. We're good.

Meet you at the rink in 20?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. [click]


[And she'll be inside sitting down with a pair of skates next to her.]

[cullscuttlefish]

[Feferi's got a little problem at the skate rental counter. She doesn't know what size she needs! After trying on a few, though, she decides she's good, walking up to Marisa and trying to get her skates on.]

How goes?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yo. Apparently, I had some of these in my closet. Which works, since I'm not sure what my size is in American.

[cullscuttlefish]

Oh, nice! I couldn't find any in my closet. Kind of sucks, because it's reely hard to figure out a shoe size from Alternian to whatever they use here on Earth.

[She manages to get one skate on, pushing her foot back and forth against the floor.]

I think I needed this. The past weekend was just plain awful.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[At the mention of what had happened, Marisa looks down and starts working on putting her own skates on.]

Yeah. Seriously need to be a stupid teenager.

[cullscuttlefish]

You and me both, Marisa.

Oh. [She points up at her horns.]

All yours.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[That gets a grin and a little girly noise before she lightly touches both horns.]

How big are they gonna end up?

[cullscuttlefish]

[The horns feel like a seashell on the surface - rippled, a little rough, with a bit of a sea-salt smell.]

Whale, the Empress has reely long ones - like four times as long as mine. I don't know how long mine are gonna be, but it's going to make getting dressed a reel pain.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Marisa's a bit fascinated by the seashell texture. She avoids the bases like she'd been told, but she'd definitely kind of fondling the horns.]

Just means you'll have to wear things that button instead of pulling over your head, ze.

[cullscuttlefish]

Every troll's feel a little different. Mine are like the way they are because I normally live right on or in the water, glub!

Ahaha, yeah. It's still going to be kind of a pain in the bass, though. Oh, well, cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I guess so... [She finally takes her hands away.]

So are, like, the size of your horns important or doesn't it matter?

[cullscuttlefish]

It doesn't reely matter so much? Not that I think, anyway. Unless you reely want to threaten someone, but that's not my style.

[Feferi tries to get to her feet, slipping a little and laughing.]

Come on. Let's do this!

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Oh. Ok. Didn't know if they were a status symbol or something.

[Marisa, too, gets to her feet and then immediately flops back down as her feet rolled out from under her.]

This is gonna be a trip, ze.
